In this context, the ministry renewed its call to the international community to take firm decisions to compel the Zionist entity to stop its aggression on Gaza and Lebanon, which has expanded and has become an imminent threat to regional and international security. The ministry stressed the State of Qatar's firm and permanent position in supporting the Palestinian cause and the steadf astness of the brotherly Palestinian people, based on international legitimacy resolutions, ensuring the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, with East Quds as its capital.
